The Anti di-Ubiquitin K6 and K33 Affimers from Avacta are a unique range of binders, with no antibody or aptamer equivalents.
Horizon Discovery (LSE: HZD) (“Horizon” or “the Company”), a global leader in gene editing and gene modulation technologies, today announces the launch of its new cell line-derived epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) Multiplex cell-free DNA (cfDNA) Reference Standard.
The 5-Fusion Multiplex FFPE RNA Reference Standard from Horizon Discovery is a highly-characterized, biologically-relevant quality control material used to assess the performance of targeted NGS, RT-PCR and RT-qPCR assays aimed at detecting gene fusions.
Hollow fiber bioreactors (HFBR) offer significant advantages over flask culture. The FiberCell Systems HFBR cartridge is optimized specifically for high density culture, and is ideal for producing difficult-to-express proteins and high concentrations of secreted products. Take a closer look at its special features with this infographic!
